Ukraine Ukrainian government officials confirmed a nuclear blast was detected in Ukraine Sunday. No other news is coming out of the area.

Three videos just uploaded show the small nuclear blast below. Nothing more is known at this time, including who launched the weapon or against which target.

The materials appear to have originated from the war-torn region of Ukraine, where separatists are attempting to return control of the former Soviet nation to Russia.

The attack comes after Britains defense minister voiced concerns Russia may have lowered the threshold for using nuclear weapons.

In their criticisms, Britain warned Russias nuclear strategy was being integrated with conventional forces in a rather threatening way.

Russias new military doctrine reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in a conventional attack that endangers the states existence, but some in the military were reportedly calling for a first strike option.
